Clare Tough




Clare Tough, British designer by TEXTILE DESIGNERS.

HINT: traditional techniques in a modern context.

"Tough is considered to be a visionary in constructed textiles. Her collections are characterized by the juxtapositions of oversized, extravagant shapes and streamlined, body-hugging silhouettes embellished with clever details."

The designs fused several different techniques and different types of yarns to create richly textured rings and net-like panels. "There are many different combinations of materials and techniques I could experiment with."*

*from the book TEXTILE DESIGNERS, at the cutting edge. By Bradly Quinn.
